“
The USS Kalamazoo (AOR-6), one of nine ships in Service Squadron FOUR and Thirty-nine ships in Service Group TWO was commissioned on August 11, 1973 at the Naval Shipyard in Boston, Massachusetts. On hand to christen the ship was Mrs. Charles III, the wife of a former Secretary of the Navy. From her commissioning to the preserlt, Kalamazoo has been on the move continuously, already completing three Med cruises. Trying to set the pace and remain one of the best oilers in the Fleet, Kalamazoo has a fleet reputation second to none as her crew pursues the highest Navy standards. In the past two years, Kalamazoo was out of her 1978-79 yard period early and saved the taxpayers more than two million dollars. In Refresher Training at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, the engineers earned an OPPE waiver with a score of 93. The ship completed the training one week early. The crew of Kalamazoo has also seen enough countries, cultures and customs to last a lifetime. Since her sixth birthday, the ship has visited Guantanamo Bay, Cuba; New York; Nova Scotia; Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic; Roosevelt Roads, Puerto Rico; Rota, Spain; Naples. Italy; Taormina, Sicily; Crete; Sardinia; Athens, Greece; Villefranche, France; Rapallo, Italy; Barcelona, Spain; Haifa, Israel; Suez Canal; and Mombasa, Kenya. Kalamazoo has refueled ships at sea more than 1200 times since 1973 and has compiled 140 customers this past cruise. Kalamazoo has had her share of exercises and hasn ' t missed a customer during the WESTLANT exercises COMTUEX 2-80; READEX 1-80; SAFEPASS - 80; Mediterranean 80 and Indian Ocean 80.
